Great first week establishing fuels and vegetation plots for our new collaborative research with @ubcokanagan.bsky.social
and the City of Kelowna at Knox Mountain.
Looking forward to learning more about prescribed fire x invasive & native plant x habitat dynamics in my (soon to be) backyard.

Kelowna's council gave serious funding to wildfire mitigation for 2025 - a lot of positives here, but a big one for me is it allows flexibility and speed in delivery of projects.
So not just the work gets done, but gets done cheaper and faster.

Broadleaf tree species like aspen have an important role to play for wildfire risk mitigation in the context of climate change. However, forest industry practices that seek to reduce or eliminate hardwoods have been widespread in BC since the 1980s. Read more in this recent interview.

Excerpts from the kindest review I have ever received, from my most recent doctoral chapter - which is resubmitted and will hopefully be out soon. This fuel typing project has been an immense learning process, and I’m really looking forward to sharing our findings.
